Zomba Forest Lodge is a haven of peace and quiet, nestled half-way Zomba Mountain within 20 acres of mixed woodland. A real treat for those seeking some peace and tranquility, some good food and an opportunity to switch off and unwind.
Where To Stay
The lodge is more than just a lodge, it is a home away from home and guests are treated that way.
Zomba Forest Lodge has four rooms; three doubles (including one that can be made into a twin) and one twin, all en-suite, a stunning dining area with a great big fire place for cosy fires in winter and some of Tom’s artwork on the walls.
The property is off grid but this in no way affects the quality of the stay.
